Literature of the Roaring 20s (Live)

Feb 25, 2019 to Mar 25, 2019

Come explore the world of the Roaring 20s and the Jazz Age through American Literature of the era. With a primary text of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby, complemented by the Harlem Renaissance poetry of Cummings, Hughes, St. Vincent Millay and others, this course will give students a full picture of this oft-romanticized era in American history.

*While this course is listed for high school, because of some of the themes present in Fitzgerald’s work, I would describe it as a course designed for juniors or seniors. We will grapple with the themes and how we, as Christians, might approach the despair that Fitzgerald saw in his generation a bit differently than Fitzgerald himself did.
